There are fourteen Stations of the Cross, some contemporary writers put in a fifteenth station for the resurrection, but this is neither historical nor legitimate as the Stations of the Cross are a prayer meditation for Lent.
The Stations of the Cross are commonly prayed during the season of Lent. They are very commonly found on the walls of Catholic Churches, so a quick visit to your nearest neighboring church will likely have the following on the walls:
I. Christ condemned to death
II. Christ receives his Cross
III. Christ's first fall
IV. Christ meets Mary
V. Christ receives help from Simon of Cyrene
VI. Christ's face is wiped by Veronica
VII. Christ's second fall
VIII. Christ meets the women of Jerusalem
IX. Christ's third fall
X. Christ is stripped of his clothes
XI. Christ is crucified
XII. Christ dies on the Cross
XIII. Christ's body is taken down from the Cross
XIV. Christ is placed in the tomb
Occasionally churches have the Stations of the Cross in different locations. For example, in addition to having them on the walls inside the church, Our Lady of Peace Shrine in Santa Clara, CA has them nicely arranged along an outdoor path which connects to their large statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The Way of the Cross.
The Stations of the Cross are usually a series of pictures or statues. They can use any artisitic medium.
The Stations of the Cross are primarily prayed on Fridays during Lent.
The Stations of the Cross depict Our Blessed Lord carrying the cross up to His death and burial. Lent is the preparation for Christ to carry His cross, die on it, and be buried.
Usually a "living Stations of the Cross" mean that you have live people posed acting out or portraying each Station.
I don't think that many (if any) Protestant churches have the stations of the cross - I know Presbyterians and Baptists do not.

Kings Cross and Charing Cross.
The Stations of the Cross are actually a private devotion, although sometimes done together in a group in the Church. As a private devotion there is no set ritual to them.
Jesus is stripped of His garments.
